LOOK: Teenager shaves her head at Birkdale salon for charity

Henrietta Daisy will be shaving off her hair- and singing - at Birkdale Fayre on Saturday, August 9

A college student who was inspired by the plight of cancer victim Millie-Rose Heaton had her head shaved at Birkdale summer fayre to raise cash for a children’s cancer charity.

Henrietta Daisy Tomlinson, 17, told the Visiter she has raised £2000 for the Neuroblastoma Children’s Cancer Alliance. Henrietta was moved by the case of Millie-Rose Heaton, who died shortly after her third birthday on June 3.

The very public head shave was carried out by the Vanity Hair salon in Birkdale Village on Saturday. Thousands of people attended the event on Saturday, and hundreds watched the head shave.
